A borrower has a bankruptcy discharge that occurred 30 months ago and has since established new credit with timely payments. For a conventional loan, what is the typical waiting period after bankruptcy discharge?
Correct Answer
B) 4 years from discharge date
Conventional loan guidelines typically require a 4-year waiting period after Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge or 4 years after Chapter 13 dismissal/discharge. Since the borrower's bankruptcy was discharged 30 months ago, they would need to wait approximately 18 more months to meet conventional loan requirements, though some lenders may have overlays requiring longer waiting periods.
